Phys.org / Rivers are driving a hidden permafrost meltdown, with thaw progressing 15% faster than expected
Thawing permafrost buried underneath rivers may be accelerating permafrost degradation faster than previously estimated in these inundated regions, according to new research shared at the 2026 SSA Annual Meeting.
Medical Xpress / These lab-grown insulin cells reverse diabetes in mice and clear a major hurdle for type 1 treatment
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden have developed an improved method for creating insulin-producing cells from human stem cells. The results, published in Stem Cell Reports, ...
Phys.org / Next-generation CT scanner reveal new details inside 2,300-year-old Egyptian mummy remains
Egyptian mummy remains were examined at Semmelweis University's Medical Imaging Center (OKK). The archaeological finds arriving from the Semmelweis Museum of Medical History, Hungarian National Museum Public Collection Center ...
Tech Xplore / One tiny diode could shrink image sensors by adding memory and processing
P-n diodes are two-terminal devices that consist of two types of semiconductor materials (i.e., a p-type and an n-type material) joined together. These components allow electric current to only move in one direction, which ...
Tech Xplore / AI models can fake visual understanding of images that don't exist
It wasn't long ago that news headlines claimed that AI might soon assist radiologists in interpreting X-rays of broken bones and analyzing mammograms. We are still far from the destination, as a new study has brought to light ...
Phys.org / For regrowing human limbs, this salamander gene could hold the key
Investigating a common gene in three very different species—salamanders, mice and zebrafish—scientists have discovered the potential for a novel gene therapy aimed at eventually regrowing limbs in humans, according to new ...
Phys.org / Global N2Onet aims to cut farm nitrous oxide emissions with shared data
Nitrogen (N) fertilizer supports global agriculture, but its use and overuse drive emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent and long-lived trace gas. Incomplete understanding of N2O flux drivers makes it difficult to make ...
Medical Xpress / Therapy program for kids with lupus can change lives in 6 sessions
Often diagnosed in the teenage years, childhood-onset lupus is a serious, potentially fatal autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack itself. For as many as 10,000 U.S. youths, it can bring extreme fatigue, mood changes, ...
Medical Xpress / Reproductive justice framework is essential to addressing inequities in high-risk pregnancy care, argue researchers
A new commentary in Reproductive Health calls for fetal condition care to be reframed through a reproductive justice (RJ) lens, arguing that systemic inequities, not just medical factors, shape the options available to families. ...
Medical Xpress / Global trial shows novel treatment for triple-negative breast cancer nearly doubles survival
A global, multicenter phase III trial, TROPION-Breast02, led by a senior medical oncologist and researcher from the National Cancer Centre Singapore, has demonstrated a significant breakthrough in improving the survival of ...
Medical Xpress / A black licorice compound slashes gut inflammation and cell death in IBD models and animals
A new study published in Stem Cell Reports demonstrates how a human stem cell-derived model of the intestine can be used to identify potential therapies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), highlighting glycyrrhizin as a ...
Phys.org / 'Dancing jets' from black hole reveal an immense power equivalent to 10,000 suns
New Curtin University-led research has used a radio telescope that spans Earth to snap images that measure the immense power of jets from black holes, confirming scientists' theories of how black holes help shape the structure ...
